KOSPI soars
A financial data screen in the dealing room of Hana Bank in Seoul on April 27, 2026, shows the benchmark Korea Composite Stock Price Index having increased 143.74 points, or 2.22 percent, to close at a record high of 6,619.37. Seoul stocks closed sharply higher, boosted by an artificial intelligence-led chip and power equipment rally, ahead of upcoming earnings releases from global big tech companies. (Yonhap)
